Wrong thread sorry its late and i need sleep :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sherpajosh:
Many of the other sense roms that I have tried have the notice that there is a system update keep popping up every day. Does this happen on this ROM for anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
No, this is the most up to date one, off the November OTA. What ROM's are you using anyway?

I've been running this for a while now. Patiently waiting on SkyRaider 4.0 :D.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sherpajosh:
This was actually for my friend, he has tried skyraider, Nils business, and redemptive revolution. He doesn't seem to like any of them. I tried to convince to try an AOSP rom but he likes sense.

In addition he has lately had a overheating problem. Whenever he plays minisquadron or uses navigation, his phone starts to heat up fast and so bad it restarts itself, sometimes going into a boot loop till it cools off.

His phone is one of the oldest DIncs, he got it back in June after the backorders. He read that a batch of those DIncs were bad somehow and overheated. He is thinking about taking it back to verizon and getting a new one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
Look at the links at the bottom of the original post. If you like these stock ROMs but want something just a little more, try the Nothing Special ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
I have one of the *first* Incredibles (got mine 4/29/10) and have only had battery overheating when: (1) charging in the car with both bluetooth and GPS running, but I believe letting the phone sit in the car mount in the sunlight doesn't help, either.

I run Magnolia 1.3.2 which is a Sense-based ROM and permits the use of underclocking, battery-loving kernels such as any of the HeyIt'sLou kernels or Chad0989's Incredikernel, which is what I use now.

Otherwise, using Nothing Special Peanut enables your friend to flash a different kernel, but keep mostly stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
I'm running Nothing Special Plain and it's the most stable my phone has been since I've started flashing custom ROMs.

My up time is at 147:07:20 and still running as smooth as ever - Since I got the phone I haven't been able to go a few hours without a random reboot let alone almost an entire week
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cliffzwj:
really?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
Thomas, could I quote your post in another thread? This is great news, thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cliffzwj:
I'm sorry,i'm not Thomas, I just quoted the Email from http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/27/droid-incredible-receiving-gingerbread-at-end-of-q2/

:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
We've seen similar emails. HTC's plan is to get the update to Verizon by the end of June. Allow a month or so for Verizon testing. Once it's official, I'll put it up here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] emkorial:
I flashed the ROM, and now my phone keeps reverting to 1X mode, where it used to get 3G. I tried reprogramming the phone, didn't help. Any idea's?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
It's highly unlikely that this is a problem with the ROM, as it's based on stock with no key modifications. Try doing a clean install (wipe data/cache/dalvik, then reflash). If you're still having problems, revert to stock and see if you have the same problem. It may be as easy as updating your PRL (*228 Option #2).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brian85:
How do I run the RUU through htc sync? I've never done it before. I want to get back to stock completely.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
My recommendation is to follow the instructions for option 2 instead. It's the method I've used several times to revert back to stock. The RUU option is for those familiar and comfortable with HTC Sync. I don't use it myself, so I can't comment.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flipzkid:
Hi, so S is set to ON now & downloaded zip file for option 2. Went into HBOOT>FASTBOOT>BOOTLOADER but no image found. Am I doing something wrong? It never asked me to update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
The file should be in the root of your SD Card. Basically, if you open you SD card, it should be right there, not inside another folder.

From there, turn your phone off. Then, hold down the volume (down) and power buttons simultaneously, and do not release until you enter the HBOOT screen. From there, do nothing. After a minute or two, HBOOT should finish scanning your SD card and ask if you want to run the update. Select Yes, then do absolutely nothing to the phone until it reboots. Seriously, just walk away, make a sandwich, or something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drm2blv:
Also - make sure that the file is named just the PB31IMG.zip and not all the other stuff it is uploaded as.

Took me a while to figure it out, it wasn't being found in the scans the other way!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbow32:
I'm so glad you posted this. I am going to upgrade and this is exactly what I needed.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] m411b:
I don't understand why this hasn't been made a sticky yet! This is great for everyone, and everyone will need it at one time or another. I know I've used it several times.

Sticky this thread, sticky this thread, sticky this thread!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
It's linked in the Incredible Roms sticky. Stickying this thread would be a bit redundant :)

Just keep a backup copy, and then come here after the OTA (Gingerbread) hits for the updated versions. I'll have them uploaded after they land as quickly as possible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] m411b:
Okay, cool! I didn't know it was already in a sticky. Thanks for update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
FYI, the "patch" against malware that is included with the two stock ROMs provided is still relevant. The new batch of malware caught today is based on the same DroidDream attack from March.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] 300k:
I installed using option 1 and now my phone just keeps rebooting on the HTC Incredible Screen. I pulled the battery out and pressed the power and volume down buttons, tried pressing recovery and factory reset to see if anything would happen but i get a phone with a triangle and ! on it. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nyterage:
try again. doing factory reset in recovery will only delete all your data, it will not restore your phone to stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
NOTE: with the phone off, fully charge your battery before doing the following.

Remove the SD card from the phone and hook it up to your PC. Borrow a card reader from someone if you must. Follow the directions in option 2 by placing the file on the SD card and renaming it as directed. Place the SD card back into the phone and hold the volume DOWN and power buttons at the same time until you get into the HBOOT menu. Do absolutely nothing, just let it run. After a minute or two, it will ask you if you want to update. Select yes (volume rocker changes your choice, power button accepts your choice), put the phone down, and leave it alone for 15-20 minutes.

At this point, you'll have the stock ROM, but I don't know if you will have S-ON or S-OFF. That depends on how well you followed the directions prior to the RUU w/HTC Sync.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ls1norcal:
What are you supposed to rename the image to? I dont see it in original post.

NVM, found it a few posts up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
Fixed, thanks for pointing that out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ls1norcal:
No prob, thanks for the guide! Works like a charm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KKellett:
Downloaded from dougpiston twice and it's not working. Says file corupted. Anyone else have a mirror or link for the pm31img?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
It's zipped in a weird way. You need 7-zip to open it. However, HBOOT opens it just find. Simply rename it as indicated, put it on your SD card, and run it as the directions state.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
Just wanted to post an update here with my intentions regarding this thread;

Until the official OTA hits, and a root/s-off method is confirmed, I will not be posting the 2.3 OTA here for reverting. Reverting back to stock has some uses even for regular root users. Going to an unrootable OTA would take that benefit away.

So, if you want the 2.3 OTA after it hits, the way to revert to that is as follows;

1. follow the directions in the first post of this thread

2. wait for your reverted phone to download the 2.3 OTA

Again, after the official OTA lands, and someone finds a way to root/s-off it (maybe Unrevoked), I'll update the revert process for 2.3.

Bad Link

When attempting to download first I am redirected to a "Final Torrent" downloader program. I reluctantly download this program I do not want. I will just uninstall it after I download the desired file right? WRONG. You are just redirected to a Hollywood political sign up sheet, not the file I was attempting to download. I do not believe the person who posted this blog was responsible for this, how ever it is what it is. I am forced to download junk software then denied the file I wanted. Can you fix this. I wish more people on XDA would use a Torrent website to store files. As these only require A torrent downloader which is tried, tested and proven. Does not require some bloat filled crap program that is not very useful. Then the files would more readily available and download a lot faster. Without the bloatware and monitored by the torrent web service file storage company. USE TORRENTS people. Saves a lot of hassle. Thanks.:mad:

[Atrix 4G General] kga943:
i have had my atrix for 4 days now and its locked up 3 times were i had to take the battery out to restart it anyone else have this problem anyone no how to fix it or should i return it for a new one
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
Did you install any applications from the market? Is your phone freezing while a certain application is open or does it freeze even on the homescreen? If you have a lot of applications installed try to deinstall and look if it becomes better. If not try a factory reset. If it still freezes than return it for a new one.
[Atrix 4G General] FNugget:
Would you mind saying what you were doing when it locks up?

If it's during Music, it doesn't actually lock up, it just shows a black screen for about half a minute. Everything still functions, it just doesn't show.
[Atrix 4G General] kga943:
Two times trying to answer a call the screen would not unlock nothing would work I had to take the battery out and just todayit was sitting on my desk and it would not turn on when I tried to use it

The green message light was on very dim and I had to take the battery out
[Atrix 4G General] clubtech:
I have a feeling there is a bad batch of units out there.

Try factory reset and see if it continues to lock up, if it does, return it for another.
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
Sounds like a broken phone. Try a factory reset (if you return it they anyway ask if you did that) and if that won't help get a new one....
[Atrix 4G General] theonedub:
Same thing happened to me yesterday, the light was very dim green and the phone did not respond until I pulled the battery. It hasn't happened again.

I've already had to replace my Atrix for another issue. Right now my confidence in this phone is not very high, but it is brand new. Lots of issues will probably pop up and be fixed via software updates- at least I hope thats the case.
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
It really feels like all the issues people are having with this phone are software related. Maybe motorolla will just cave and give us gingerbread with no blur :cool:
[Atrix 4G General] icecubed180:
I've had the same problem while playing music...over the past 3 days after about 30 minutes of tunes it'll lock up and after another 5 reset itself...i've done the reset after the second and it still does it...i'm bout to take it back and exchange it...i expect glitches but damn. :confused::mad:

Motorola Atrix (stock)

AT&T Fuze (Energy.RAPHAEL.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.sencity)
[Atrix 4G General] mrlinux11:
I have had the issue happen 2 me twice in 3 days, the last time was when adding the note widget to screen. It was not completely locked up just the touch screen, i could press the power off button but the touch screen would not let me shutdown
[Atrix 4G General] b14ck0ut:
something you might want to try if a factory reset doesn't work would be a reinstall from the recovery menu.

power your phone off

hold the down volume key and the power button

release the power button once the phone begins to boot

keep holding the down volume button until you see "fastboot" at the top of the screen

now be careful, the down volume button navigates through the boot options and the up volume selects one

so press the down volume button until you come across "android recovery"

once you see it press the up volume button to select it

once you get to the screen with the exclamation mark tap the bottom right of the touchscreen, this should pop up the recovery menu

select wipe data/factory reset

let the phone do it's thing

good luck

I've seen this resolve some audio codec issues that were causing the phone's mic to not work, dunno if it'll work for your issue but it can't hurt to try.

best of luck

[Atrix 4G General] mrlinux11:
I have found a fix for my lockup issue. If the screen is on and lockup (no touch screen) press the power button 2, turns off the display and turns it back on and everything continues to work fine.
[Atrix 4G General] pme25:
I have the same problem (screen randomly locks up once or twice a day, buttons dead) and have found the above "solution" to work perfectly, also. The problem however is that pressing the power button twice and unlocking the phone is not exactly elegant especially if the screen locks while you are trying to answer an incoming call.

I changed my battery settings to "performance mode" as I read somewhere that that might help. I will let you know if that seems to resolve the issue.
[Atrix 4G General] pme25:
Changing battery setting doesn't seem to do anything. I still get my share of frozen/locked up screens a few times a day. Still have not figured out how to replicate the behavior. It really does seem random.
[Atrix 4G General] ]grimm[:
I've been suffering from this as well, I'm going to try to exchange my phone and see if that helps.
[Atrix 4G General] pme25:
Exchanged my phone today. So far I haven't seen any locked/frozen screen issues. I am relieved. Maybe there are just a few bad units out there.

Also for what it is worth ... the lady at AT&T told me that taking out the battery while the phone is on would fix it. Since I never figured out how to replicate the behavior I couldn't verify that her suggestion would indeed actually fix the problem and demanded an exchange anyways.
[Atrix 4G General] pedroosan:
atrix does lock up and have glitches

lock up glitch:

While in standby (screen black), it locks up. You obviously don't know when exactly it happens as it's lying around in standby. When you press the powerbutton to wake it up, nothing happens. You can try what you want, long press, several presses, just dead phone. As if the battery losts juice, but 2 times it happened and the battery was above 50%.

Tired to connect the charger while in that lock-up state. Nothing happens The notification light remains black as well.

The 2nd time this happened to me, I had the idea to call myself and see if just the powerbutton has a glitch and the phone is actually running just remaining in standby with a black screen. But nope, the phone didn't ring or wake up.

Only way to recover is to take the battery out.

I didn't mess with my phone and was very careful in which apps I installed. The only ones I have are very populoar 4+star apps:

extended controls

easy profiles

the other apps are most of the time not even running:

photoaf, vignette, imdb, nytimes, fb, skype, pandora, screen filter, droid light, prozoom5x camera

No games at all installed...

The 2nd glitch that happened to me a couple of times is that the finger print sensor is not working: It doesn't display any message as in " did not verify, too short, ..." it's just dead, the only way to get in is to punch in the number code.

This is typically fixed after switching the phone off fully.

Of course skype also doesn't work on my atrix (well known mic issue)
[Atrix 4G General] projekt1:
It happened to me as well. I had installed some apps but when it froze it had been off (the screen that is) so it was sitting then when I tried to open it by pressing the power button the green light came on but it would not wake. I removed the battery, replaced it then it did the same thing again (including the green light). I removed and installed the battery once more then it was fine. It must have been something in the backround but not sure as to what that was. Hasnt happened again though.
[Atrix 4G General] vince954:
strange, skype worked for me... oh well.

did you ever find a solution for the lockup issue, have the same thing, very frustrating but not as frequent as you thankfully.
[Atrix 4G General] Masterleon:
My Atrix started to freeze up when I undervolted the CPU using SetCPU and I would have to pull the battery out and restart it. I increased the voltage settings and it hasn't locked up since, so if you have undervolted your CPU and your phone is locking up, you should increase the voltages.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
First of all..

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SWYPE!!!!

Also, I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone...

This is just a zip file that can be used to install swype to a custom rom.

What is Needed...

1)The attached Zip file

2)Swype.apk and libswypecore.so

3)Clockwork Recovery (i tested using clockwork 3.0.0.6)

4)7-Zip (or any other zip utility that can place files into a zip without extracting)

How to...

1) Open up the attached file in 7-Zip

2) Place Swype.apk in the "app" folder

3) Place libswypecore.so in the "lib" folder

4) Place the zip file in your sdcard

5) Boot into recovery

6) Go to mounts and storage

7) Mount "system"

8) Go to the main menu and install the zip file

9) Reboot and go to any text field

10) Hold the text field until a popup appears

11) Click "input method"

12) Select Swype

If for some reason it does not work, go to the system folder using root explorer or something similar and make sure the permissions are as follows for both the Swype.apk and the libswypecore.so

User: Read Write

Group:Read

Others:Read

If this procedure does not work for any reason, please send me a pm with the following information

1) Rom

2) Recovery Version

Also: Special Thanks to Marine6680
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
This is just a zip file.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
yes, but my reason for posting it is because it contains the script to flash along with it being signed. this way the only thing missing are the files.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] AGx-07_162:
An easier way to do this, which is what I have been doing, is to simply use a File Manager with Read/Write (Root) privileges and copy the libswypecore.so file into your system/lib directory and then install the Swype.apk like a normal app. This way you can do everything without needing to reboot.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Nicgraner:
I installed by giving them my email getting the apk and installing...you could almost calk it average lol
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] fsrick:
can someone provide me a copy of swype.apk and libswypecore.so? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aussiehairspray:
Comment removed.

Didn't know it was against the rules to post the .apk.

My bad!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] schizopunk:
@aussiehairspray

If I'm not mistaken, I don't think this is allowed to be posted... Swype's rules.

I'm no admin but I just don't want to see you get in trouble.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
You are not mistaken. Posting the swype apk and lib files is not allowed and is actually illegal
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
I posted this so o once you add the files you can just flash this anytime you flash a new rom. this would mainly help crackfkashers. For Every one else, your methods may be easier/faster
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dick402:
so quick question, how would I go about uninstalling this?

Swype FCs every time it tries to load.

Mytouch 4g CM 7.02
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
I'm getting force closes as well using the files posted here. I followed these instructions here because after installing via the sywpe installer beta everytime I rebooted my phone it wouldn't trace anymore. To fix this I needed to disable and reenable swype. So as of right now I'm still outta luck.

To remove swype though simply go into titanium and scroll down to swype and delete it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
Unfortunately swype force closes are not due to this zip and chances are it is the ROM. I would suggest trying fix permissions from recovery or ROM manager. Other than that I would not know what would be causing the force closes.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] danyune:
maybe i'm confused but i just went to swype.com and registered for beta and it works fine

is this different?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] infraled:
Before I ever tried the files here I used the beta installer that I registered and it seemed like everytime I rebooted it wouldn't swype anymore and the keyboard would flash like an error. I've been running cyanogenmod nightlies, currently on 61. I've tried fixing permissions before but it never corrected the issue.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] snuglyrugly:
I tried the Root Explorer method with the same results. No matter what I do to install Swype on any ROM other than CM7, I can't get the keyboard to "swype". I've even created a new account with swype to download it again with no luck. I'm close to using something other than CM7 as my daily ROM but I need Swype! Any more ideas?

Thanks!!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] esincho:
When it won't swype after reboot. Try selecting another board, type something, then go back to swype and slide. Used to work for me when I was using swype
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] formeforfree:
this worked flawlessly! thanks

im running nightlies. i downloaded iced glacier for the original swpe .apk and libswpe files. just selected update zip from sdcard in clockwork.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] atifsh:
forse closes, then i uninstalled and uses root explorer to copy both files, than i change the permissions, it worked but gave error about licencing, that this is for some other device. im using htc panache stock GB ROM.

than yesterday i realized new beta is out i re-registered and installed the latest beta which is ofcourse much better :P, only thing im missing is light colored theme of oribngnal swype.
